Guest bob_barron Report post Posted December 11, 2002 I was over there, but I'm over here now! First off, after spending a few hours on the WWE Float for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, NY, I only had one question, "What the hell was my country ass doing freezing to death on that float?" LOL Man, that was a whole new level of cold for me. That was some Polar Bear/Eskimo Pie/Ice Fishing kind of cold. But at the same time, it was a great event to be a part of! I had a real good time, frostbite aside, and the response from the crowd was great the entire ride. Thanks go out to the WWE for letting me be a part of this tradition and special thanks go out to the Hurri-Fans in attendance! This brought up memories of my participation in the shenanigans on the WCW float that was in the Mardi Gras Parade in the year 2000. Can anyone spell P-U-P-P-I-E-S?? LOL But, I'm over here now! The trip to India was also another life experience that I'm sure will never escape my memory. Unless of course I get jobbed out by Alzheimers. The shows were great and a lot of fun. The hours on the plane (I heard 45 hours in 7 days) were tiring but that's part of the grind so no big deal there. There were parts of the country that were beautiful and parts that were really hard to take in. The level of poverty was shell-shocking and made me appreciate EVEN MORE just how good we North Americans have it. The people, in general, were some of the nicest and politest people that I've ever met, and they really took to us with open arms. I do however, have to wonder about the driving laws in India, because for the most part I don't think there are any. It seemed to me that people just pretty much drove wherever and however they wanted to, beeping horns and avoiding the cows! Yes, I said cows! There were cows everywhere! But . . . I'm over here now! A funny story from the shows was that on the second night a big brawl ensued which consisted of all the good guys running all the bad guys out of the ring. (I know I should say faces and heels, but at times that sounds so superficial.) Anyway, once the ring was cleared of the villains, (that better?) myself, Bubba, and Tommy Dreamer tried to get Booker T to do a spinaroonie! But Booker hadn't wrestled yet and he wanted to save the spinaroonie for his match later on, so he bailed out of the ring as quick as he could! Well, the next night, during a strangely similar occurrence (lol), the good guys once again ran the bad guys out of the ring, and without a word being said, Booker knew that we were gonna try and get him again. But, as he tried to get out of the ring, I latched on to his ass like a leech, and wouldn't let him leave. Then, to help out the cause, GoldDust got on the mic and all but challenged Booker to do a spinaroonie! I should mention at this point that Rob Van Dam hopped out of the ring because he thought that Booker was gonna try and get someone else to do the deed, thereby saving his (Booker's) spinaroonie for his match later to come. And Rob, who possesses one of the worst spinaroonies in the history of spinaroonies didn't want any part of that! Well, with the whole crowd watching, and everyone in the ring just laughing because we knew we had him, Booker took the mic! And what happened then, was a master at work! On the mic, Booker T said, "Yo Goldy, check it out! You wanna see a spinaroonie?" (GoldDust shook his head yes, as did we all, and the crowd is just cheering.) What about you people out there? You wanna see a spinaroonie? (Crowd gets louder!) How about you people on the other side, do you wanna see a spinaroonie too? (Even louder now, and I'm thinking this is great, he has to do it now!) Well you people are gonna see a spinaroonie . . . . . . in about 10 minutes! (What?) after this intermission (huh?) when I come out here and whoop Christian's punk ass! Now can you dig that? Suuuuccccckkkkkaaaaaa!" (Oh no!) And with that Booker left the ring! LOL We could not believe it! He had escaped! And his "Suuuuccccckkkkkaaaaaa!" catchphrase was so over with the crowd that they didn't care that they didn't get the spinaroonie! We were like Ron Simmons! DAMN! I don't know how funny that may sound to those reading this because I seriously doubt that I have the words to express how funny it really was. Oh, and also, before the whole Booker Houdini Escapade even happened, when I got in the ring and the big battle was going on, I saw that Jericho was lying in the corner getting kicked by someone, so I decided that I was gonna rib Jericho, by going in there and just start stomping the piss out of him! See, that's what wrestler's think is funny, getting in the ring and knocking the hell out of one of your best friends. LOL! So, anyway I start stomping on Jericho when I notice that he is wearing a Hurricane T-Shirt! And not just any Hurricane T-Shirt, but the same shirt that I wore to the arena and that I was gonna wear back to the hotel, which now has my Hurri-boot prints all over it! So in essence, he was ribbing me, while I was trying to rib him! Damn it! LOL All in all, I'm very glad that I got a chance to visit India. That trip now brings my total up to: 41 American States, 8 Canadian Provinces, 8 Countries, and 4 different Continents. Now that's some travelling! In other Hurri-News, it looks like I will be getting a new T-Shirt soon, so anyone wanting the current green one, better get it while the getting is good knowimean? Because once they're gone, they're gone. In even more Hurri-News, it seems that a Hurri-cameo is part of the new Fozzy video that will be airing on MTV soon. Check that out if you can, not just because I'm in it, but because Fozzy be rocking! Recent movies I've seen have been "Punch Drunk Love" starring Adam Sandler, which I liked alot. "Die Another Day", which was okay, and "8Mile" starring Eminem, which was the best of the three. And the soundtrack for 8Mile is really good too! Real quick: Jennifer Lopez = HOT Pink = HOT! Avril Lavigne = Potential Vertebreaker Victim! In Comic News, the continual misuse of Black Adam continues in the JLA/JSA Virtue and Vice book. I don't know what was a bigger injustice, the way Adam got jobbed out in that book, or my match against Batista last week. And begin! Speaking of that match, I've received several emails asking me about whether or not I got hurt in that match. Well, actually I did. After I gave that little kid my mask, and Batista knocked me off of the ring apron, my right forearm got trapped between his body and the top rope. Now as you may or may not know, I have 2 plates and 13 screws in my right forearm. I received that injury in a Greco-Roman Tournament during my shoot days. Anyway, after my arm got trapped and I hit the floor, my fingers and hand went numb. And I could already see my arm start to swell. But alas, I got through the match, which was tough because it went so long (I'm over here now) and my arm is almost back to 100% again. If you want to see an X-Ray of the arm click HERE! It was the best I could do at scanning an X-Ray photo. And lest I forget, I went into that match with torn cartilage in my lower right rib cage, and let me just say that being slammed by Batista didn't do that particular injury any favors at all! LOL The best part of it all, was that one internet report remarked how good Batista's offense looked without mention of the bumping and selling that actually made the aforementioned offense look that good to begin with! But . . . I'm over here now! And now I must pack for my trip to London tomorrow, in which I leave at 3:00 pm North Carolina time and arrive on Thursday at 6:20 am London time. A lot of time on a plane no doubt, but their are worse ways to spend a day than hanging out with Stacy Keibler. Maybe I can be a Hurri-Testicle? LOL! Until next time, Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got! I'm still, I'm still Shaney from the block! Where am I? Oh yeah? I'm over here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Avril Lavigne = Potential Vertebreaker Victim! Consider me a Hurricane mark for life if he does it to her. Muhahaha!! I have 2 plates and 13 screws in my right forearm. I received that injury in a Greco-Roman Tournament during my shoot days. Will he get a big push based on the dreaded RUNNING BIONIC FOREARM?!!!~ That'd be kick ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest creativename Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Well that "over here" catchphrase is mad annoying (what the hell is that about anyway? Someone care to fill me in?), but no doubt Hurricane seems like one of the real nice guys in wrestling. But we knew that already. I feel really bad for the guy though. He has all the talent in the world, and is like a mini-Jericho (well, not that mini, they're the same height). And he was real over too, before jobbing to Crash and getting squashed by Hoss of the Week. He deserves way, way better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted December 11, 2002 I know...he's skilled, over, marketable--but he's little so WWE is gonna fuck him over? Pffft... And does Crash really really really suck, or is there just some intangible force that just makes me not give 2 specks of shit about him, ever? I mean, I cared about him during the Houdini of Hardcore days when the joke wasn't too played out yet, but since his big comeback I haven't the slightest bit of interest.

Guest Goodear Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Crash has a bunch of problems, but his biggest issue is that he really almost has no offense that makes him look good (other than his finisher) in the regular match setting. Most Crash matches consist of him bumping around and maybe getting a brief rally. So, none of his matches really stand out since they are so one sided and kind of blah. Kind of like Funaki...

Guest humanoid92 Report post Posted December 11, 2002 Well that "over here" catchphrase is mad annoying (what the hell is that about anyway? Someone care to fill me in?) I'm not positive, but Andrew Dice Clay used to always say, "I'm over here now." He could have been imitating that. Not sure because it didn't translate so well in print.
